October 9, 2007: The Decauville rail-car "Yunnan" with the MTVS

The SIVU of the line "Dunières - St-Agrève", yielded this rail-car to the MTVS. Its transport is envisaged in the first week of August.

It was built into 1939/40 by the Decauville company. It formed part of a series of 3 machines intended for the Railways of Yunnan to Indo-China. But the 2nde World war prevented its delivery. They will be assigned to the Breton Network in 1951.

They will be in service until the end of the metric gauge track in Brittany, in 1967.
